Jet Boats: A Complete Guide. Why isn't there more books on this stuff

[socalmoney]

I was searching around looking for books on High Performance Boats and found this. Pretty funny how the book is about jet boats and features a boat with an outboard on the cover. Doesn't seem to be much out there. Anyone know of some good reading on the subject.

See I knew you guys would set me straight. Didn't know there were outboards called "jets". Thanks.

From Exceprt:
"Don't confuse other 'jet boats' -- hot rod style boats or small fibreglass recreational boats -- with the type of jet discussed here. ... east of the cascades 'jet boat' is used almost exclusively to describe these river boats."
Year hear that, there is no life east of the Cascades!!

Jet boating isn't rocket science. Mechanically, it's much like penis/vagina but it's done with sphincters.

Rocket Science, you make it sound like Proctology.
Hey, congrats on the 20k posts.

There's nothing to know. All you need to operate a jet boat is a gas card, a heavy right foot, and a predilection to lie about your boat's top speed capabilities. :idea: :D :D
edit: and a tow rope.
